With its solid spruce top and sapele back and sides, the EG511SSC serves up big, clear dreadnought tone. And with its eye-catching satin finish and beautiful herringbone rosette, your fans' ears won't be the only sensory organs riveted on your performance.

Takamine - 50 years of quality, great sound, and playability
The Takamine EG511SSC acoustic-electric guitar benefits from a half-century of Takamine guitar-crafting knowhow. Launched in 1962 at the foot of Japan's Takamine mountains, Takamine has been designing and building acoustic guitars that are seen in the hands of some of music's biggest stars. With quality and value as guiding principles, Takamine's instruments employ the finest tonewoods, construction techniques, and technical innovations such as the proprietary TK40 preamp system found in this guitar.

Takamine's TK40 preamp system
The EG511SSC sports Takamine's TK40 preamp, giving you rich, clear-sounding amplified output - instantly. A feature of G-Series guitars, the TK40 features a gain knob, a tuner, an active EQ with bass, middle, and treble sliders, and a low battery indicator. The preamp is switched on by plugging a standard instrument cable into the endpin/strap pin jack. Unplugging the cable turns the preamp off. The TK40 is powered by a single 9 volt battery.

Takamine EG511SSC Dreadnought Acoustic-electric guitar Features:
  • Comfortable dreadnought cutaway body style
  • Solid spruce top; sapele sides and back
  • Rosewood fingerboard with nickel-silver frets
  • Takamine TK40 preamp for great amplified tone
  • Preamp includes a chromatic tuner at your fingertips to keep you in tune

Only spent 10 bucks on my first purchase, but you treated me as if was spending a grand. Being an independent business owner, I know all to well the importance of dedicated customer service which is the best way to win over the corporate chains. Tootsie Rolls always win me over too. I'm sure some much bigger purchases are in our future.
